Your skin is a lot more likely to burn and you will also struggle to regulate your temp the same. Just like saunas and hot tubs you should really avoid due to the high temp. I don’t think I would risk it. I totally sympathise with the acne, mine has got worse with pregnancy too. Maybe when the nice weather starts it will get better xx

Also you are more likely to develop melisma when pregnant, just in normal sunny weather let alone on a sun bed - so I wouldn’t risk it x
A lot of skincare advice when pregnant is very over the top - I think the only thing to swerve is retinol but you can use topical acids for toners and I swear by azalaeic acid serum for my skin which gets congested really quickly x

I wouldnt use them personally. What about a spray tan?
